Dude do a clean install and follow the instructions in both the threads.
i assure you the rom will work:good:

Ashwin i have only one question. Like we all know that when we are on a call on sim 1, then sim 2 network shows busy or switch.and it is vice-versa.I think this is with all sony's dual sim phones.
Does this beautiful Rom carry the same feature or can support call waiting from other sim while on a call on a particular sim??
Thanks in advance for all the replies.

[Discontinued][ROM][4.2.2][G Pro] ColorOS 2.0 Based on CM10.1 [F240x/F220K/E980/E988]

ColorOS 2.0 for G Pro by WS008​
Based on CM10.1 (4.2.2) and ColorOS Patchrom​
Please take note that although this ROM is based on CM10.1, it is not merely a modification to the CyanogenMod. It uses a similar method to MIUI in building the ROM. You will get a ColorOS experience instead of a CM one by flashing it.
About ColorOS
ColorOS is a firmware based on Android with intensive modifications. It was created by Oppo and originally ran only on Oppo devices such as the Oppo Find 7. In 2014, Oppo started its Patchrom Open Source Project and allowed the ROM to be ported to other Android devices.
The ROM is ported by the Chinese developer WS008. The development of the ROM has stopped (for a long time...)
Features
ColorOS features
Added SmartMax to the kernel.
Zipaligned.
Rooted, SuperSU.
Smooth as CM10.1.
Improved battery life.
Double tap to wake.
Slide to wake.
Included Aroma Installer. You may choose which variant you have and whether you want GApps when flashing.
Screenshots
How to install
Install custom recovery (PhilZ Touch recovery recommended) (There are issues with TWRP.)
Wipe Data/Cache/System (Important)
Flash zip -> Select Your variant -> Select GApps
Downloads
From ColorOS official server.
Known Issues
NFC not working.
FAQs
1. Why 4.2.2?
The ColorOS Patchrom currently only supports Android 4.2.2. The update can only made by Oppo. We will try to update to KitKat as quickly as we can once Oppo releases the KitKat update to the Patchrom.
2. Why Chinese?
The ROM is in Chinese by default (Sorry, we cannot change it unless Oppo does something.) You may switch to English in Settings (设置).
If you like this ROM, please click the "Thanks" button. We will also appreciate a lot if you connect to the Internet at least once after flashing for statistical purposes.

Thank you very much @JTJTJ.
Eventhough you are not the developer, but your action helps us very much as we do not have that great assortment of roms.
Cheers.

We need to at base 4.1.2 in order to flash this rom right bro?

going to try just backed up dho commtio 4.4.3 and flashed cmw

Not working on F220K
Sorry, but i've tried to install it several times on F220K, the installation process completes well and then it does'nt boot, then i tried F240k variant and it installed and booted well, but it had some graphics glitches on F220k, any help would be appriciated,

It doesn't boot on my phone
Flashed the E988 variant

ROM installed fine but everything is in Chinese. Color OS looks beautiful. I wish they added more steps in English for initial set up. This thread will be hard to maintain in English unless we are able to install in English.

Can i happen to ask what rom where you on when you flashed this rom? I tried installing this and MIUI on kitkat but it won't boot past lg logo after installation. Were you able to test he battery life?

I have just installed the rom. It works pretty well. NFC seems to work (didn't try with another phone though).
You can flash it with CWM in Freegee.
There is a tutorial to get english on Youtube:
Thanks to let us try ColorOs

UPDATE: It's not too bad, I'm not 100% sure what the OTA does but I'm on the 06/16 build. I'll try and see if I can get the double-tap wake to work in a bit. Just seeing if I can change the Chinese keyboard to an English one since installing Google Keyboard from the Playstore FC's. Overall: not bad at all.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the speaker sounds noticeably better on here. I'm not sure what's different but the quality is great.

May I know how to disable NFC function? I click disable but it still keeping enable. Is it a bug?

So, I tried this before, and I loved the features. I couldnt however get wifi and stuff to work. I want to try it again, but the zip wont download correctly :/ It is "invalid"
EDIT: If anyone has the same problem, download and use DAp. It downloaded it without making it invalid, lol.
'

Anyone else have problems with getting stuck a LG logo upon first booting after install? I found that it can be fixed by copying 'wcd9310_mbhc.bin' and 'wcd9310_anc.bin' into '/system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/' (files available from here). I packed them into the ZIP, reinstalled, and am now having a colorful os.
The non-existence of those files causes this error upon install, though it wasn't reported by the installer--it claimed success!:
Code:
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_mbhc.bin to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin: No such file or directory
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_anc.bin to /data/misc/audio/wcd9310_anc.bin: No such file or directory
Which, I think, caused a nasty loop of '[CAM/E][ERR] ce1702_i2c_rxdata failed!' errors upon first boot, keeping me from advancing past that mocking LG logo.

Slimbean for Locked Bootloaders built from latest sources

Update Posted September 26 2014:
Numerous fixes and additions:
Added Slimbean Extras including Email, Exchange2, Launcher2, Music2 and VideoEditor
Camera delay is positively fixed - absoultely no delay
Removed FM radio which does not work
Instructions:
I always prefer fresh install.
You may try, if you wish and if you already have the previous version, to flash this on top;
If you are doing fresh install, see original instructions (full wipe).
P.S. When you boot for the first time, you will get:
1. Notificaiton that email app stopped (disregard it, the app will work without any further messages)
2. Notification that SU binary should be updated: follow instructions
Regarding bootloops: Do a fresh install, which is always preferred. Also, remember, custom roms based on Cyanogen want all system apps signed by the same key. If you have SU or any other app that you installed in the system (and then flash update on top) that means that those apps are signed by different keys, which would result in a bootloop during subsequent updates. Do research and learn about not messing with system apps. Neither SU nor any other app needs to be installed in system. Also, the same applies if you decompile and mess with a system app - once you re-compile the app, you'll have to sign it and your key is different, which again means bootloop.
Also remember that this rom is designed to work with Stock JB 4.1.2 kernel only. If you have an unlocked bootloader and custom kernel, you will get bootloop and/or other issues
Before posting this update, I reformatted my phone and did a fresh install: no issues. You know what it means: I don't want to hear about bootloops.
____________________________________________________________________________
Rom checked on my device: boots 100% in about 25 seconds. Just re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.
Slimbean latest release built from sources on September 6, 2014. This is for IONs with locked bootloaders. This is not Kitkat, it is based on JB 4.1.2, which is ages more stable.
Changes:
1. Open source Launcher Advanced (one of few open launchers)
2. Terminal and FM radio added (were missing in original release by Olivier)
3. Battery/Wifi fixes incorporated in code prior to building
4. Radio menu fixed (now when you dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone, you no longer get F/C)
5. Default network changed to LTE
The phone seems snappier than with the original release, perhaps because the rom was built on Gentoo, which is the best Linux around. But maybe it is just placebo. You decide.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Be rooted, have Recovery and JB 4.1.2 kernel
2. Enter recovery, wipe System/Data/Cache (remember factory reset is not enough)
3. Flash the rom, reboot and let it settle, which shouldn't take long
4. Enjoy and press thank you or perhaps donate...

Thanks for the rom. I just flashed it and rebooted.. the screen is stuck on the slimbean logo for over 10 minutes.. the slimbean logo is flashing normally as if its about to load. You think something went wrong and I should interrupt it?
EDIT: So i interrupted after about 12 minutes by holding power and volume up keys and entered twrp to go back to previous rom. Will try back later.

I'll look into it. Did you do system/cache/data wipe prior to flashing?

Sorry to ask again but can we have INLINE/INVOICE CALL RECORDER like the one seen in your honami ROM. I think it was a part of 0.96w fw jellybean 4.1.2. I really need it and so do others too

Rom re-uploaded: works fine
I checked the rom and it boots on my ION fine. Re-uploaded. This might have been an issue of a corrupt upload.

Downloading, will try tomorrow after school is out. Thank you Optimum you and your damn roms tempt me as much as i tell myself to stick to stock after CM10 had quite a few issues on my end i guess.
Also on a side note if you need mirrors, I can make two or three.

Can we have kitkat like notification quick settings in this rom ?

I'm not really a picture taker. Post #3 in this thread has a flashable camera. I'm not sure it would work on this rom, but I would flash it and if it didn't work just do a restore from backup.

Does anyone low of how I can get small apps back? Although they're not a deal breaker, I actually used a couple of them and would like them back.

Ok, I'm slowly catching on. I switched from iPhone a couple of months ago and had gotten an HTC One which I unlocked the boot loader, did the S-Off and rooted. I run AOKP on that phone and the xperia was a backup to carry when I'm running or cycling. As it turns out, my wife's iPhone is messing up so I've put a sense rom back on the One. She likes getting that feed screen and all. Now the Xperia is my main phone. I guess Honami is the Sony equivalent of proprietary like sense is to HTC.
I've found I like the Sony's and will probably replace the HTC with a Z1 or Z1 compact but I need to do some research as unlocking the boot loader is a requirement. It wasn't so important on the ion due to its purpose, plus I couldn't find an I or H at a reasonable price.
I realize I've gotten wordy and a touch off topic and apologize.
I'll keep my eyes out for a camera and as for the multi tasking, I forgot there's an xposed app that may allow some multi tasking.
I really do appreciate the ROM and am especially grateful to the dev of this rom for making it usable on a locked boot loader.

[TOOL] Fix Freezed Screen/Camera Issue With Unlocked Bootloader by nheolinkin

All THESE TOOLS ARE MADE BY ME FOR THE PURPOSE OF FIXING FREEZED SCREEN AND NOT WORKING CAMERA ISSUE BUT NOT SERVING ANYONE HERE. USE IT OR NOT, IT"S YOUR CHOICE.​
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please

=====================
= FREEZED SCREEN ISSUE =
=====================​WARNING
Do not use Automatic Tool more than once for each kernel (boot image).
If you did that by accident and device can not boot. Just reflash original kernel then use the tool again.
HOW TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER WITHOUT FREEZED SCREEN?
- Unlock Bootloader Tool (2 recommended options: 1-1-5 or 1-5-5)
- Root your device.
- Enable USB Debugging.
- Extract and run this tool (Download) - READ INSTRUCTION WHEN TOOL IS RUNNING.
- From your device, using any File Explorer to copy cmdline file from /sdcard to /d/osip
- Reboot device.
CHECK IF TWEAK IS APPLIED OR NOT
- Use any File Explorer to get into root folder
- Check if value in /proc/cmdline has "... intel_idle.max_cstate ..."
READ THIS OR I WILL NOT CARE WHATEVER YOU COMMENT HERE
- Who used my tool and get thing fixed, help the others if you can.
- If you tried all options of unlocking bootloader and applied tweak but your devices still get freezed and automaticly reboot, get last_kmsg by using Kernel Auditor (right after reboot) then post in the comment section.
- Just like above but if it's freezed without reboot then I'm sorry that I can't do anything for now.
OPTIONAL
- TWRP-3.0-B-5.0 flashable zip with tweak applied. Freezing is not occured much on TWRP but I still make this one for personal and for people wanna get rid of freezing when flashing something in TWRP. (Download)

Im sure for 99% unofficial unlock doesnt couse freezing on 4.4, i used official only one time, but unofficial is just flashing ifwi and dnx from officiall firmware.

The fact is that if unofficial unlock doesn't cause freezing on 4.4 then it won't cause freezing on any base.
And the official one, pretty the same except that it can detect your unsupported devices if you're using later kitkat rom.
For example, If anyone buy a new device with 2.20.40.13 manufactured rom, official tool will tell you exactly that your device is supported or not. But if you downgrade to any rom earlier than that then it won't, because it just simply can not realize your new device with new mainboard and stuff inside.

Which tool did you use? How long do you use kitkat to ensure that it won't freeze?

My bad then, I forgot to mention fastboot of later base than 2.21.40.44 does not allow flasing ifwi so official tool's not supposed to work proberly.
And about your case that it's just freezed in 5.0 instead of kitkat, it's hard to say but it could be caused of 2 reason:
- not compatitive bootloader (dnx) version. Because after all if.bin file and also official tool are made for kitkat but not lollipop.
- if frequency of freezing is low, then it could be something else that I can not say for sure without logs.
Conclusion: Can unlock bootloader or not, it's based on the result we got from kitkat rom. That's why I do not mention 5.0 here.

thanks to you im so happy u made this thread..
anyway i had some question...
we know that disabling 2 cpu core will fix this freeze issue..but with a cost of performance and broken camera
and... "sometimes" if i play a game especially the heavy one,ex:vainglory... the freeze is gone
i wobder why that things can prevent the phone to freeze??

Disable 2 cores won't fix freeze issue but just decrease frequency of it. You don't need to throw away performance and camera for that.
And yes, some game will not cause freeze when you play. If I'm not wrong, how your figure touch the screen in game could be the reason. For clearly, it won't be freezed or least freeze when you play a game that one or more than one figure touch the screen continuously when playing.
VainGlory is an Moba game which is perhaps required 1 figure touching continously to move characters right?

It depends on last_kmsg you get after panic. There are quite a lot reason for kernel panic that I can not say for sure.

What about kernels for 6.0 and 7.1.x cm and aosp based?

Is there more ROMs?

I recently purchased an tab S4 just an update from my previous Samsung tablet. I was wondering is there more ROMs for this tablet or ROMs currently in development? I noticed theres like 2 ROMs for this tablet. I have a note 8 and I'm currently running deluxerom on and it, and I really enjoy the tweaks and customization I'm able to do. I was looking for a same kind of feature for my tablet. Would greatly appreciate the answers I'm looking for. Thanks!

Pretty much zero support. You can get a few 9.0 GSI ROMs to boot, but they all have issues. Mine has been sitting around since it was purchased while still using my old 2014 model.

Aww no way!? Really? I excitingly got this tablet cause of the features and thought perhaps there would be amazing ROMs for this particular tablet, but I guess not xD What are GSI ROMs? Also as a desperate attempt would other tablet ROMs work on this s4? Thanks mate!

I had thought the same thing, but it seems the S3 is the last tablet to get real support.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/project-treble/trebleenabled-device-development
Some of the ones for 9 will work, but most features won't work too well, if at all.
You might be able to get another rom to work, I know I had no luck. Even trying ones with similar hardware, they all failed to even flash since the booting numbers are different.
Kind of have to be satisfied with Samsung, half baked custom roms or sell the thing.

First,download "Treble Check" app from playstore & read for your device...

Hey Veekay I tried it and you're right unfortunately I came across the same issue as you brother
Now I'm stuck and I need help sorting my device out, was wondering if you knew this issue or could help?
When I got the stock firmware back and then when I flash TWRP with odin after going into TWRP I get 0mb as internal
so when I format and then go back into my load up the screen after SAMSUNG says "verification failed" and then reset
on the bottom. I tried other options as well. Without even wiping on TWRP the devices boots up into the setup wizard for the firmware fine
but after I wipe TWRP so I can get access to my internal drive my samsung boots into that verification reset screen. Got any clue as to how I can
resolve this issue? Thanks a bunch!

Have you tried just reloading the latest stock firmware from scratch?

Yup, its unfortunate that there isn't much community support for this device. The Tab S4 is Project Treble supported and a few GSI ROMS do work. But as others have said they are unstable and not for use as a daily driver. We have a few discussion threads here talking about them.

Would that work? If I did that I would still be able to download and install TWRP and have a root? Because of it being PIE

I am going to do more research on these projects because I really wish there was more ROMs its quite an amazing tablet but the potential with the stock ROM lacks a lot

Generic System Image (GSI) list :
https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list
you can try only "Android 9 Pie" official or unofficial gsi roms..
and remember ! Some GSIs roms maybe are not compatible with some devices! you can ask for your device on each thread
(for example look here): https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/issues/777
(usually this Gsi aosp 9 phh, generally works on most devices...BUT! ask first,and discuss it in the thread)

Can I do this without stock ROM and only TWRP? Because having the stock ROM is disabling my twrp to function without wiping and if I wipe than my stock ROM doesn't work

Sorry,but I don't understand what do you mean " without stock rom and only twrp"...
you can install a Gsi rom, with two ways
Via TWRP, or Via Fastboot : https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/ (Tab S4 is a-only arm64)
for any other question, it is better to ask in the thread : https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...vice-development/aosp-9-0-phh-treble-t3831915
(read carefully in OP & you can post,every single question there for your device,and you will get certainly help from the developer or from any other user..)

You are going to have to just wipe it and start over from square one, unless you made a TWRP backup before starting all of this.
Download and flash the latest stock rom from recovery and then you can load twrp again.

I was looking at the possibility of using GSI's on some devices, and while they can offer new life to older devices, they're not entirely stable all the time unless you're willing to make your own changes. I know Lineage has made some excellent progress, but it's not fullproof yet and I wouldn't try it unless you're willing to not use your device as a daily use device.
I had an extra T-Mobile Revvlry which is basically a rebranded Moto g7 Play that I installed the Lineage GSI image and it works fairly well. However, this is more the exception to the rule and Moto devices, I feel, are far simpler in design vs certain Samsung devices. It also had a ton of trial and error involved for me to get it up and running properly.

Is it possible as the s4 becomes older, more people buy it and Samsung stops releasing official updates that someone will come along and create a ROM for it? Or is it more like Samsung locked the bootloaders and its close to impossible to write a ROM for it? Is it still possible to root the s4?

Thanks. I took a quick peak at the roms and kernels in the roms and kernels forum and they are pretty much all abandoned.
Someone did mention that the LOS 16.0 and ArrowOS GSI's work alright but are a bit buggy.

samsung,maybe at the end of july to give the upgrade to android 10....it is very likely to happen I think
yes,all Gsi Roms still have various problems unfortunately...
my opinion is: stay to stock rom for now....you can "uninstall" many applications if you want & without root, via "samsung package disabler"(paid) from playstore, or with this way:
https://beebom.com/how-remove-bloatware-android-without-root/
also,you can Install "NiceLock Downloader Companion App" ,to add some features on your device : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/themes/nicelock-module-download-links-module-t3923844
with this way I operate my device until now..
